NHS cuts, not according to the BBC

The BBC's strategy of reporting every piece of news detrimental to the Conservative party with banner headlines whilst either not reporting or minimising coverage of news detrimental to their friends in the Labour party is once again in evidence this morning. The Telegraph reported yesterday that
'Tens of thousands of NHS workers would be sacked, hospital units closed and patients denied treatments under secret plans for £20 billion of health cuts.

...

The plans have emerged as health chiefs draw up emergency budgets that cast doubt on pledges by Gordon Brown to protect “front line services” in the NHS.

...

The plans are contained in a series of internal NHS documents uncovered by The Daily Telegraph.

The final details of the plans are not due to be announced until the autumn, well after the country has gone to the polls for the general election. '

If this was a story about proposed Conservative cuts then the BBC would have this as a headline story but as it is about Labour cuts, it appears to not even have appeared on the BBC news.
